Dimarzio Model J vs. Fender Super 55's

I've had a 74 J bass since about 78' and it came with really bad pups.
Back then your aftermarket choice was Dimarzio and I've been happy with them.
They are installed with the stock 250K pots so the tone is warmer than using the 500 K pots that Dimarzio now recommends.

To me, the tone is more P like than J and it works well for me.
Not a huge difference between neck, and neck / bridge but i great sound with a tone control is great.
I finally found some 55's and bought them based on the reviews here.

I'm thinking the 55's will sound closer to stock?
If they are nothing like what I'm used to I'd rather not touch any solder joints or screw around with something I like.

OTOH, this bass plays really well and I'm not sure what I could be missing.
Thoughts?
Maybe flnd a cheap bass just to try the 55's?

 

I just compared my stock 72' J against the 74' with Dimarzio's.
I am pretty surprised that they sounded very similar.
I've always like the more open sound of the neck pup heavily favored (for most rock work).
I must have the coils with the Dimarzio wired in parallel as the volume is about the same as well as the treble response.
Then again, I'm comparing dual coils to single coils.

I have switches under the pickguard so I can check easiliy.
OTOH, it took months to decide which version I liked years ago when I played J basses exclusively and don't want to revisit yet another variable (rat hole)!
Both basses have new Sunbeams.

Compared to a stock 72' P with brand new Sunbeams, both the J basses have much more growl but also capable of being full range.
The Sandberg with big pole P bass pups and active eq seems to get someehere in between.

All testing with an ABM500 and GB 2x12 NeoX cabinet.
Of course, all of this is pretty minor considering all of the combinations sound GREAT.
Then again, this is TalkBass...
